Lonnie Walker IV has agreed to sign with Maccabi Tel Aviv. Walker has an NBA buyout clause in his contract until August 1st and will be one of the highest-paid players in Europe.

Walker was with the Boston Celtics for preseason in 2024-25 before signing with Zalgiris. Walker then joined the Philadelphia 76ers on a two-year, $3 million deal in February. 

Walker averaged 12.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 23.8 minutes across 20 games for the Sixers.

Walker, who is represented by George Langberg, was the 18th overall pick in the 2018 NBA draft out of Miami by the San Antonio Spurs.

sportswasherrr. wish this was treated like players playing for Saudi or the games the NBA holds in the UAE

Yikes... Modern day Nazi collaboration isn't a good look

Happy for Lonnie to get this contract and hopefully get more PT. With less pressure to keep his NBA career going, he can focus on a solid pro career and keep honing his skills. Wish him the best.
